View All Applications →icListen HF — High Frequency Smart Hydrophone
The icListen HF is the world’s first smart digital hydrophone, recording
across 10 Hz to 200 kHz with built-in signal processing, real-time streaming,
and Ethernet connectivity.
Compact enough to carry in one hand and rated to
6,000 metres depth, it is the global standard for broadband underwater
acoustic monitoring.
Frequency range: 10 Hz to 200 kHz
Depth rating: 900 m / 3,500 m / 6,000 m
Peak SPL: 180 dB re µPa
Sensitivity: -173 dB re V/µPa
Communication: Ethernet
Output modes: Waveform / FFT / Event Detection
Calibration: IEC 60565
icListen AF — Audio Frequency Smart Hydrophone
The icListen AF covers 10 Hz to 12 kHz with an exceptionally low noise floor
— making it the preferred choice for marine mammal monitoring, environmental
impact assessment, pile driving noise measurement, and low-frequency acoustic
surveys. IEC 60565 calibrated for traceable, publication-ready data.
Frequency range: 10 Hz to 12 kHz
Depth rating: 900 m / 3,500 m
Peak SPL: 165 dB re μPa
Sensitivity: -159 dB re V/μPa
Communication: Ethernet
Output modes: Waveform / FFT / Event Detection
Calibration: IEC 60565

Launch Box — Field-Ready Wireless System
The Launch Box converts the icListen Ethernet connection to WiFi, giving you
wireless access to live acoustic data from any laptop or tablet on the same
network. Its rechargeable battery delivers up to 48 hours of runtime, and
built-in GPS provides time synchronisation and position logging. Portable,
waterproof when closed, and air-transportable — ready for any field
deployment.
WiFi streaming — no cables to your laptop
~48 hours battery runtime
Built-in GPS for time sync and position logging
Single or multi-hydrophone array support
Waterproof and air-transportable
